To ask the Attorney General, how many judicial reviews there were involving Government
departments according to records held by the (a) Treasury Solicitor and (b) Administrative
Court Office in each of the last four years; and how many such reviews were upheld
in whole or in part in each such year.

<p>The Treasury Solicitor’s Department holds records relating only to those cases
in which it has acted. The Treasury Solicitor represents most, but not all, government
departments in litigation. For example, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs normally
conducts its own litigation. According to records held by the Treasury Solicitor,
the number of judicial reviews involving government departments in which it has acted
in each of the last four years is as follows:</p><p>2010 – 8,566</p><p>2011 – 9,603</p><p>2012
– 10,274</p><p>2013 – 16,449</p><p>Information relating to how many of those reviews
were upheld in whole or in part in each year is not held centrally and could not be
created without incurring disproportionate cost.</p><p><del class="ministerial">The
Administrative Court Office does not collate the information requested centrally and
determining the number of reviews and how many such reviews were upheld in whole or
in part would incur a disproportionate cost.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The
information requested in respect of the Administrative Court Office is published online
at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/267408/additional-court-tables-2012.xls"
